Altered CD Holder - Heartfelt Creations

Hello and Happy Wednesday to you. I am sharing a project with you today for Heartfelt Creations. with only a couple days away from Christmas i wanted to share a altered CD Holder that i created using one of the flip fold Pockets and the new coffee talk collection.

What i absolutely love about these flip fold pockets is how versatile they are. I most always make my own music CD's when i know im going to do a long road trip ( so i cannot sync my phone to my vehicle, i do not have that capability just yet) and i have a friend who often travels with me and enjoys my taste in music and has asked me on a few occasions to make her a CD. SO that gave me an idea for a CD holder.

I started with the flip fold from this packet

adhered it together, covered front and back, did the same to the CD Case and I came up with this

I thought it was such a unique idea especially for those of us who still use the old fashioned way of listening to music (ha)

coffee talk collection. Begin by stamping background image onto canson water
colour paper measuring 4.5 x 5 1/4 with Cocoa Archival Ink, trace random words

through. Pop on top of background image with foam adhesive. Mat with dark brown coffee paper in

inside and inside back of CD case with papers from collection, attaching a
simple pleasures card panel on back with a Ornate border cut form desired paper
